"Find me cards equivalent to: Reverse the Sands"

Equivalent cards to Reverse the Sands (white sorcery affecting life totals) include:

  • Balance (redistributes resources, historic and banned, but similar in spirit)
  • Twilight Drover (not sorcery, but interacts with life and tokens)
  • Approach of the Second Sun (life total impact through win condition)
  • Closest equivalent to Reverse the Sands: There are no exact white sorceries that redistribute life totals like Reverse the Sands. It’s unique in white, though cards like Magister Sphinx (artifact creature) set life totals but aren't white sorceries.


Reason: White sorceries rarely redistribute or reset life totals; Reverse the Sands is unique among white spells with this effect.

    Rules

  • A card that changes zones is considered a new object, so casting the same Approach of the Second Sun card on a later turn is “another spell” named Approach of the Second Sun.
  • A copy of a spell isn't cast, so it won't count as the first nor as the second Approach of the Second Sun.
  • As your second Approach of the Second Sun resolves, it checks only whether the first one was cast, not whether the first one resolved. If your first Approach of the Second Sun was countered, you'll still win the game as your second one resolves.
  • If you have fewer than six cards in your library, you'll put Approach of the Second Sun on the bottom of your library. Otherwise, you'll lift up the top six cards without looking at them and place Approach of the Second Sun just under them.
  • The second Approach of the Second Sun that you cast must be cast from your hand, but first may have been cast from anywhere.
  • Approach of the Second Sun has no effect until it's resolving. If the second one you cast is countered, you won't win the game.

    Rules

  • Balance doesn't have targets, so permanents that can't be targeted, such as a creature with shroud or protection from white, are valid choices to be sacrificed.
  • Each type of object is counted during the corresponding part of the process. Cards in hand are counted after lands have been sacrificed, and creatures on the battlefield are counted after cards have been discarded. Thus, a land creature sacrificed to the first part of the spell would not be counted when determining how many creatures are on the battlefield for the last part.
  • First the player whose turn it is chooses which lands (if any) to keep, then each other player in turn order does the same. Each player will know the choices made by the players who chose before them. All of the unchosen lands are then sacrificed simultaneously. Then the process is repeated for cards in hand, except that no cards are revealed until all players have chosen what to discard, at which point those cards are all discarded simultaneously. Lastly, the process is repeated for creatures, and players will again know earlier choices made when deciding what to sacrifice. All of the unchosen creatures are then sacrificed simultaneously.

    Each player chooses a number of lands they control equal to the number of lands controlled by the player who controls the fewest, then sacrifices the rest. Playersdiscardcards andsacrificecreatures the same way.

    Flying

    Rules

  • For a player's life total to become 10, what actually happens is that the player gains or loses the appropriate amount of life. For example, if the targeted player's life total is 4 when this ability resolves, it will cause that player to gain 6 life; alternately, if the targeted player's life total is 17 when this ability resolves, it will cause that player to lose 7 life. Other cards that interact with life gain or life loss will interact with this effect accordingly.
  • This ability is not optional.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, this ability basically causes the team's life total to become 10, but only the targeted player is considered to have actually gained or lost life.

You can choose to (a) leave the life totals as they are or (b) make your life total 15 and your opponent’s 5. You can’t choose to make your life total 20 and your opponent’s 0.
  • You choose which player gets which life total when the spell resolves.
